June 32nd, 19XX: Endless Theatre Round 2

[independent_dollmaker]

[Congratulations, friends! You survived to the end. Unless you didn't, in which better luck next time. Either way, enjoy some refreshments and discuss the events of the last few days. Round 2.

On the chalkboard is a sign, reading:]

HIROSHI - 5
OSAKA - 4 5

[Looks like Hiroshi still has the high score. Also looks like everyone is counted towards the score, wwhether you killed them yourself or not.]

Well, that's two times I've survived to the end. Maybe I'm just lucky?

[Your back was broken, Alice.]

[ohmygah]

[hahaha that's so funny alice

she'll just enjoy it over here

in the corner

definitely not shaking in horror

haha]

[all_onis_are_true]

[Hiroshi is just over here patting her on the back. Offering buddies yo.]

[ohmygah]

[Backpats are accepted.]

I.. I guess the ghost bear ate me from the inside this time...

[all_onis_are_true]

Are we STILL using that terminology?

[independent_dollmaker]

Don't worry, I don't have any hard feelings about the whole rock thing. Walking is over-rated, I think.

[ohmygah]

...Walking is exhausting...

[independent_dollmaker]

And now I never have to do it again! You've made my life easier.

[happyhalloween]

[Maria will come over eventually.]

It's not Osaka's fault. Osaka was possessed.

[She leans against Osaka.]

Maria didn't know Osaka's papa was like Mama.

[ohmygah]

I...

I can't tell. I don't know if I was Osaka or Ayumu, Maria-chan. I don't know how to tell...

[This is probably a rather complicated and philosophical topic for a young girl, but TRAUMA]

Haven't seen him in a while. He's not so bad. [Hard to grasp what is and isn't normal for most people.]

[happyhalloween]

Ssh. It's okay. We're in... [Maria looks around and frowns.] We're somewhere like the Golden Land, so now we can just forget about the bad stuff and be friends again.

[After a long moment she adds:]

Mama's not always bad either.

[flatview]

That wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be! [ stabbing Osaka, she means.... ] I guess that means we should rely more on "the power of friendship" or something!

[ohmygah]

[NERVOUS INCHING A WAY because while she thinks she deserves it AHAHAH WOW

That last part cheers her up though.]

That'd feel pretty nice...

[flatview]

[ SLAPS HER ON THE BACK you can't escape a nui ]

I'm not really sure how it works, but you see people doing it in all of the movies!

[itwasfeyt]

Osaka....

[Aww, buddy...]

I-it's okay now. We're not mad or anything!

[ohmygah]

[She doesn't believe you. Not one bit.]

I'm sorry! I'm really really sorry!

[itwasfeyt]

Aw, come on, Osaka! You can't let this get you down! We're all here, and we're your friends. You don't have to worry about that!

[Honestly, how was this even happening...]

[loveandwillpower]

You can yell at me for real next time! I'll even try to be alive for it!

[ohmygah]

...I don't wanna yell anymore.

[loveandwillpower]

You can yell at me over an ice cream float with no knives, even.

[kouyouensei]

[Sitting in the center, staring at her from the distance.]

Kasugu... Kasugu... Kasugu...

Gosh, she needs a mnemonic.

[ohmygah]

[Someone is saying words. Words Ayumu doesn't understand.

Uh. Lets see. Mnemonic. Rhymes with Harmonic. Harmonica. GOT IT.]

But I'm not good with instruments...

[kouyouensei]

Really?

[Haruhi's ears perk up like a cat.]

Your rhythm sense is really unique, though.

[punches_fog]

Osaka...no, Ayumu-chan.

I'm sorry.

[ohmygah]

...My fault, not yours.

[punches_fog]

[He shakes his head.]

No, it's all of ours. We didn't consider your feelings enough.

Of course, it's mostly the fault of whatever caused you and Hiroshi to go nuts.
